You won't believe the benefits of dancing for your brain!

Is there something you can do to preserve your youth and keep your brain well-functioning at all seasons of life? Start dancing! And here is why…

Scientists carried out numerous researches on how to help people resist aging and dementia. No one really wants to be out of their mind! They tried a number of physical activities, but some of them showed no result, such as cycling or swimming, for example. However, eventually, they discovered the thing that does the trick. Dancing keeps your brain young and hugely decreases the risk of dementia!

Dancing can lower the possibility of dementia by 76%! Just compare this to 36% of reading impact, 47% of doing puzzles and 0% of playing golf. There is only one demand to meet to attain such a positive effect – you have to dance and dance often!

Here is what Dr. Robert Katzman has to say about it:

“People who dance regularly have greater cognitive reserves and an increased complexity of neuronal synapses.”

Basically, this means that individuals who love dancing are smart! What exactly does it mean to be smart? Well, you get the right “automatic” reactions to complicated situations. Just the thing you do in dancing. You learn the dance moves, the music sounds, and you start it. You automatically repeat the moves you learned before.

Dancing not only trains your muscles but also develops something called muscle memory. When you slowly repeat the movements over and over again, you train your muscles to react without having to receive the brain signal each time. This way you bind your physical and cognitive abilities into one.

Dancing creates new neural paths in the brain. It keeps your brain young and functional. When brain cells die, it becomes weaker, but when you dance the new cells start regenerating much faster. By dancing, you keep your memory sharp and prevent forgetting things.

As you see, scientists have discovered an absolutely fun way to stay healthy and prevent dementia. Party to your heart’s content and keep your brain going with these benefits of dancing!
